Is working or volunteering x hours per week for x weeks/months in your plan? Does your disability have any medical/work ability re-examinations that volunteering/workamping might jeopardize your entilements? Have you talked to your doctors about getting any prescriptions you might need renewed while on the road without an office visit?
...We are both on disability so stable income is taken care of...We want to travel and see the country. Time is not an issue but we want to try and boondock as much as possible and take advantage of the BLM land for the 21 days a month...
As far as I know, there is no BLM land East of the Mississippi. There are National Forests and many do allow dispersed camping and the America the Beautiful Access Pass gives discounts at Forest Service Campgrounds including a partial discount on some with electric service.
Others have mentioned that $400is not much for fuel. We often burn as much fuel exploring an area as we do getting there. For example, last fall we towed the trailer about 1000 miles around New Mexico (1000/11=91Galx$3.80=$345). However, we actually spent just over $1,100 for fuel while in New Mexico. I would count on 50% of your fuel budget being for in and around travel, especially if your boondocking sites are very far from the places you want to go and see or need to go to get supplies.
Good Luck with whatever path you choose!
